Tell us about you role at KTH and what you hope to achieve.
- IVL has been working with KTH SEED on the topic of sustainable food in several project and now we are in the process of jointly writing publications. We would like to extend this collaboration to topics related to sustainable consumption and design, for which I was invited to KTH as affiliated faculty.
The affiliation will also include supervision of doctoral and master students as well as specific contributions to course education.
- Our hope is to extend the collaboration between our institutes to strengthen common research areas, and as a response to the increased interest in this research topic to extend joint project financing as well as publications.
Are you looking for any particular collaborations at KTH?
- Of course, it would be good to learn more about the different research areas represented in SEED and how these connect to my research. I look forward to intensifying the collaboration opportunities that already exist and expanding collaboration around sustainable consumption and design.
